Report: December marks ‘realistic’ return date for star pass rusher Matthew Judon

Shortly after undergoing surgery on his biceps on Wednesday, New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon took to Instagram to share a brief message: “I will be back.”

Apparently, the star pass rusher meant this season.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Judon has a “good chance” to be back with the team this season based on how well the 31-year-old’s surgery went. Rapoport added that December appears to be a “realistic goal” for his return.

Matt Judon, who underwent surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon, has not yet been placed on IR.
